Witness Charles Cummings just wanted to watch Lone Survivor for his birthday and left the theater covered in blood. His son called 911 immediately after the incident while a nurse in the audience attempted CPR.

I can't believe people would bring a pistol, a gun, to a movie. I can't believe they would argue and fight and shoot one another over popcorn. Over a cellphone.

The incident is a scene all too familiar in American theaters, where the sounds of shots fired aren't just from the movies. Cue the never-ending gun control debate.

Chad died of his injuries after being taken to a Tampa-area hospital. Reeves, who retired from the Tampa Police Department in 1993, was charged with second-degree murder.

We are deeply saddened by the events that occurred earlier today at Cobb Grove 16, and our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. The theatre is currently closed, and we are actively working with the sheriff’s office on this investigation. This was an isolated altercation between two guests that escalated unexpectedly. The safety, security and comfort of our guests and team members are always our top priorities, and we are truly heartbroken by this incident.
